Solved LargeFireBall Issue

Hey guys,

What I am trying to achieve is a FireBall rain. Following is what I want to do

• get Location from Config [works]
• spawn LargeFireballs in a radius arround that Location 15 blocks higher [works]
• Let them rain down straight down and explode onhit [not working]

So yeah. What exactly it is that doesn't work for the last part. I spawn them in. Set their Direction and they just explode where they spawn. But they do not fall/travel into the direction I want it to. Might be that I need a different approach
How I spawn the LargeFireballs in and set their direction is as follows

Code:java

if (ability.equalsIgnoreCase("fireball")) {
    final Vector fall = new Vector(0.0, -1.0, 0.0);
    final Location fireballLoc = loc; // gets the location from the Config. Works
    fireballLoc.setY(loc.getY() + 15.00);
    final Location fireballOneLoc = fireballLoc;
    final Location fireballTwoLoc = fireballLoc;
    int ammount = 0;
        while (ammount < 10) {
            System.out.println(ammount); // Debug message to see if it works
            if (ammount % 2 == 0) {
                fireballOneLoc.setX(fireballOneLoc.getX() - 1);
                fireballOneLoc.setZ(fireballOneLoc.getZ() - 1);
                LargeFireball eOne = Bukkit.getServer().getWorld("kd")
                    .spawn(fireballOneLoc, LargeFireball.class);
                System.out.println("FireballOne" + "   " + eOne.getLocation()); //double confirmation. Spawns where it needs to
                eOne.setDirection(fall);
            } else {
                fireballTwoLoc.setX(fireballTwoLoc.getX() + 1);
                fireballTwoLoc.setZ(fireballTwoLoc.getZ() + 1);
                LargeFireball eTwo = Bukkit.getServer().getWorld("kd")
                    .spawn(fireballTwoLoc, LargeFireball.class);
                System.out.println("FireballTwo" + "   " + eTwo.getLocation()); // tripple confirmation. Spawns where it should
                eTwo.setDirection(fall);
            }
            ammount++;
        }
    }
 

So what it does.
It spawns the 10 Fireballs.
All in different locations. (Confirmed by Comments)
However they explode imideatly.
so I kinda guess I might have to do it different because the Fireball explode right on spawning in. But I cannot think of a way of doing it correctly

 

Why did you post two topics for this?

 

Did I? My browser screwed up then. sorry

Edit:

Ok.. duh. Should not be coding at 5 in the morning. some of them exploded simply midair because they colided on their path (because setDirection still gives them a random direction)

however the main issue was that I had a runnable within the plugin that removed all entitys except certain ones.. forgot to add LargeFireball in there. sorry guys
